<div dir="ltr">Just a note on proper use of the word 'griever' vs the word 'griefer'. A 'griever' is someone who is in a state of grief; as in grieving for a loved one lost to the ravages of time or the brutality of an accident. A 'griefer' is someone who sows grief. In this context, 'griever' is misused, and 'griefer' is the right and proper term.</div>

</div>Why not do it at the server side with a whitelist? If the requester is<br>
not on the list then they get no service.<br>

</div>What would be the point of grid services is trusted sims could not<br>
connect?<br>

</div>You could have one server process/virtual machine that listens on the<br>
ports, does the whitelist and forwards legitimate requests to the actual<br>
services. Really this isn't an opensim question but a general securing<br>
services question. There are many different ways to do it including<br>
firewall, VPN, whitelist, load balancer, gating service and so on.<br>
